We performed a comparison between Mule Anypoint Platform and Tibco BusinessWorks based on our users’ reviews in four categories. After reading all of the collected data, you can find our conclusion below.
Comparison Results: Tibco BusinessWorks is the winner in this comparison. It is a scalable, high performing, and reliable solution. In addition, it is easier to deploy than Mule Anypoint Platform.
"MuleSoft offers with the Anypoint Platform a unified platform for API management and an integration Platform as a Service (iPaaS) as well as an on-premise Enterprise Service Bus pattern."
"Whenever we need some support in our local language, we get it easily. They also have an office in Germany and if a person is unable to contact them by phone, they can go to the office in person."
"We are very satisfied with the DevOps support."
"The most valuable features of the Mule Anypoint Platform are the Flex Gateway, API management, easy-to-use, and connectors. Additionally, they are coming out with improvements to the solution when required."
"When we talk about the APIs, there are multiple policies one can apply on APIs, like rate limiting policies, OWASP policies, and OWASP security policies, that can be easily configured in Mule Anypoint Platform."
"It's easy to develop APIs."
"API management."
"This is a good platform for designing, flowing out APIs, and then doing API-based integrations."
"The high availability, tolerance, and load balancing features are top-notch. Its scalability features are also pretty cool."
"Good TIBCO BusinessWorks features are the admin console and the ability to roll back to the previous version."
"BusinessWorks reduces development time, helping developers to focus on business logic."
"I work in operations, so I value BusinessWorks' performance the most."
"One of the most valuable features is data transformation. We have some legacy systems which are in old technology, like SOAP, whereas the new ones are in REST. So we use BusinessWorks to transform data from one format to another, from SOAP to REST."
"The most important thing is that it is easy for developers to work with."
"One of the most valuable features is that it's a simple development. It takes a short time to get services to work."
"The most valuable features are the stability and the time to market."
"Better documentation, in particular with respect to the initial setup, would be helpful."
"Mule should have better B2B integration."
"Mule Anypoint Platform is complex for beginners. Users without programming skills will find it complex. It should also improve its pricing."
"The stability could be better."
"It would be better if we had a clearer view of the solution's future releases."
"One area we'd like to see improvement in is the error logging and troubleshooting process."
"Price-wise, it is a good product since it is reasonably priced...Mule Anypoint Platform can get too complex for non-technical people."
"The runtime management and connectors could use some work and are vulnerable to breakage after upgrades."
"Improve Business Studio's stability to further minimize development time."
"Its price can be improved. For medium enterprises, it is a very expensive tool. In the market, you won't get many resources for this solution. You won't find many developers in the market very easily. The latest version of TIBCO (6.4 or 6.x) is not very stable. It has got many issues. We have raised this with TIBCO, and they are taking a lot of time to come up with a fix, which is making us move away from this product. Some of the performance-tuning aspects are also missing in version 6. They should provide performance-related fixes, which will be helpful for the customers. If you are migrating from the current version to the container-supported version, it is quite expensive. The product has evolved, but it is very pricey. That's one of the challenges. They have provided all the features that are there in other products, but this is a platform upgrade. The platform has completely been changed from 5.x to 6.x, and we can't use the same environment. We can't run both versions on the same server as VM. The development environment is entirely different. In version 5.x, there was a proprietary designer. Now, it has common plug-ins developed on top of Eclipse."
"There is room for improvement on the learning side."
"TIBCO BusinessWorks could be improved with cloud support."
"Cloud fitness is lacking"
"The cost has room for improvement."
"This solution's cloud could be improved. I don't know whether it was because we didn't have the internal expertise or if it was the product itself, but since they came later—I think only two or three years into the cloud—after many other iPaaS that had been in the cloud for longer, I feel that maybe they haven't matured in terms of the cloud."
"I'd like to see a new cloud approach in the next release. They need to work on integrations, stability and management issues on their cloud platform."
